    Hi all,
 +
    The question about how to get videos from Khan Academy in any language was asked several times on this list.
 +
    We planned this year to deploy offline Khan Academy videos in French to our Nosy Komba deployment. So I've worked with Bibliotheque Sans Frontiere to get French videos.
 +
    They suggested me to use KA Lite [1], a software dedicated to install a offline Khan Academy server.
 +
    BTW it's slightly intrusive and need some installation. So I've write a script to explore and extract only videos URL. You could find it here [2].
 +
    The result of the script could be seen here [3] as a tree or here [4] as a single list.
 +
    Hope it could help.
 +
    Best regards from France. Lionel.

If you are using Flash you need to also install nspluginwrapper, and use it to "wrap" the plugin so WebKit can see it.

Use "yum -y install nspluginwrapper" to install the package.

  1. A teacher wants to prepare a SoaS image with a custom set of installed Activity bundles or a Journal of Activity instances for an upcoming class term.
  −
  2. The teacher modifies their current working image by adding or deleting Activity bundles from their Home view and adding or removing Journal entries with specific content
  −
    (such as a Physics model template or Etoys project), even saving distributable ebooks, or bookmarks in Browse Activity instances that are named for specific sets of local web destinations
  −
    (a class portal perhaps for deployments lacking Internet connectivity).
  −
  3. The teacher scrubs out any personal passwords or other history that should not be shared in the new copies.
  −
  4. A fresh or recycled USB stick is inserted into the computer running the customized SoaS image and the SugarClone script is executed.

  2. Their modifications include changes to their operating system installed through yum or RPM to obtain some new core functionality.

  4. Personal or private information is scrubbed from the Journal or Browse history and other potential stores.
+
===[[Sugar on a Stick/previous versions]]===

This method of backup has the advantage that it copies Learner changes to the core operating system as well as the Journal. A LiveOS image using a separate persistent home folder could be partially cloned with either the operating system overlay or home folder without the other should that be desired.

:: An easy method for Fedora and Windows, however this method does not generate a separate home.img filesystem to conserve the exhaustible OS overlay (see [[LiveOS image]]), nor does it copy the livecd-iso-to-disk installation script to the new device to permit generation of a new Live USB device from the first.
 +
: '''Note if graphical liveusb-creator program will not make a bootable USB stick from an .iso file:'''
 +
:: (This can happen if the stick is formatted to fat16 on another PC with a different Operating System.)

: Use terminal command :
 +
'''liveusb-creator --reset-mbr'''
 +
: '''USB stick must be formatted: fat16/32; Labeled=LIVE; boot flag set.'''

:: (The LIVE label is only required when the device is to be used for a subsequent uncompressed installation to a hard disk.)

rEFIt is a boot menu and maintenance toolkit for EFI-based machines like the Intel Macs.

You can use it to boot multiple operating systems easily, including triple-boot setups with Boot Camp.

It also provides an easy way to enter and explore the EFI pre-boot environment.

To create a live image, the '''livecd-creator''' tool is used. Super user privileges are needed. The tool is more or less self-documenting, use the ''--help'' option to see options.
